When celebrated architectural historian Adrian Vale inherits an abandoned mansion from a woman he has never heard of, he assumes the mysterious inheritance is simply an administrative mistake. But inside the house he discovers a collection of handwritten journals documenting events that have not yet happened—including a detailed account of his own arrival. At first, Adrian believes someone is playing an elaborate psychological game. Then the predictions begin coming true. A stranger appears exactly where the journal says he will. A photograph changes. A locked room is found open. And one night, Adrian discovers a final entry written in his own handwriting: Tomorrow, Adrian Vale will disappear. The deeper he investigates the history of the house, the more disturbing the truth becomes. Someone has been controlling the lives of the people connected to it for generations—and Adrian may not have inherited the house at all. He may have been chosen for it.
